This order protected a woman&#39;s earnings. In some cases I also found more personal information in Court of Petty Sessions deposition books, etc.Judy Websterhttp://www.judywebster.com.au/index.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266495682245162271.post-48259514154006801122011-08-25T19:43:58.956-05:002011-08-25T19:43:58.956-05:00We have a similar situation in our family.

She was living about 20 miles away, with their sixth child together. They *both* were enumerated as widowed. He died three years later in 1903 and she died in 1923.Tracy Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08224361714186446549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266495682245162271.post-47023390797363815442011-08-25T12:21:45.005-05:002011-08-25T12:21:45.005-05:00I&#39;m somewhat unsettled by my paternal grandpar...I&#39;m somewhat unsettled by my paternal grandparents listed at two separate addresses on the 1930 Census...she living with my father at her parents&#39; house, he living with his mother and a daughter from a previous marriage. The 1940 Census won&#39;t help...grandpa died in 1938. I haven&#39;t found any city directories from that era yet.Charlotte Mareknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266495682245162271.post-45050030003022028212011-08-25T07:19:56.724-05:002011-08-25T07:19:56.724-05:00Thank you for posting - I have such a set!

She lived with her daughters in town, he lived with their son on a farm the next town over...and the census shows her as married, him being divorced. (Or maybe vice versa) Either way, I was always a little unsettled by this.Party of 5http://www.blogger.com/profile/18244944775477282824noreply@blogger.com
